An authentication device includes: a wearing position determination unit that determines a wearing position, the wearing position being a position at which a wearable article comprising a sensor is being worn on a body; and an authentication unit that performs authentication by using biometric information of the body, the biometric information being detected by the sensor at the wearing position.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
2. The authentication system according to claim 1, wherein the first sensor is configured to detect the fingerprint at a first position.
10. The authentication system according to claim 1, wherein the lamp is further configured to light according to a predetermined method indicating that the authentication has failed if the authentication fails.
The authentication system is designed for secure access control, particularly in environments where visual feedback is critical. The system includes a lamp that provides real-time authentication status to users. When authentication fails, the lamp activates a predetermined lighting pattern to indicate the failure, ensuring users are immediately aware of the outcome without requiring additional prompts or displays. This visual feedback mechanism enhances user experience by reducing ambiguity and improving response time. The system may also include other components, such as sensors or processors, to verify credentials and trigger the lamp's response. The lighting pattern for failed authentication can be customized, such as flashing red or a specific sequence, to distinguish it from successful authentication indicators. This feature is particularly useful in high-security or high-traffic areas where quick and clear feedback is essential. The system ensures that users receive immediate and unambiguous feedback, improving security and usability.
11. The authentication system according to claim 6, further comprising a memory provided in the finger ring and configured to store the personal information for the payment service.
13. The authentication system according to claim 1, wherein the function of the finger ring includes permitting access to a secure room.
14. The authentication system according to claim 1, wherein the function of the finger ring includes permitting access to ride on a public transit system.
15. The authentication system according to claim 1, wherein the first processor is configured to obtain user identification information from a memory based on the result of the authentication and the detected acceleration.
